The road to observability with OpenTelemetry demo part 1: Identifying metrics and traces

Dynatrace

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. But as more workloads are shifting to hundreds of separate cloud-based services running in containers across multiple platforms, observability has become exponentially more difficult. What is OpenTelemetry?

The road to observability with OpenTelemetry demo part 2: OpenTelemetry configuration and instrumenting applications

Dynatrace

As applications transform to be more distributed across multiple cloud environments, it becomes more important—and more difficult—to make them observable. We also introduced our demo app and explained how to define the metrics and traces it uses. api/v2/otlp/v1/traces'; $metricsURL = $baseURL. '/api/v2/otlp/v1/metrics';

Observability engineering: Getting Prometheus metrics right for Kubernetes with Dynatrace and Kepler

Dynatrace

For busy site reliability engineers, ensuring system reliability, scalability, and overall health is an imperative that’s getting harder to achieve in ever-expanding, cloud-native, container-based environments. To get a more granular look into telemetry data, many analysts rely on custom metrics using Prometheus.

AWS observability: AWS monitoring best practices for resiliency

Dynatrace

These resources generate vast amounts of data in various locations, including containers, which can be virtual and ephemeral, thus more difficult to monitor. These challenges make AWS observability a key practice for building and monitoring cloud-native applications. AWS monitoring best practices. And why it matters.

Observability vs. monitoring: What’s the difference?

Dynatrace

This trend is prompting advances in both observability and monitoring. But exactly what are the differences between observability vs. monitoring? Monitoring and observability provide a two-pronged approach. To get a better understanding of observability vs monitoring, we’ll explore the differences between the two.
